Intertops Review

Many bookmakers could claim to be the biggest but only one will ever be the first. Intertops were the very first bookie to go online back in 1996 and they make a big deal of that when you log on to their site.

Having an established brand is a great advantage but to continue to pick up new customers, Intertops will need to have a little more to offer so why, as a Canadian sportsbook player, should you give them a try?

Introductory Bonus

The first piece of good news is that the Intertops new customer offer is available to players in Canada and it’s a generous one too. There is up to $200.00 available for new players here in an offer that has three options.

The first promo, known as ROOKIE200, is a 200% match on your first deposit with up to $50.00 available and it comes with a 8x rollover. In the middle of the three is ROOKIE100 with a 100% match and a maximum of $100.00 with a 6x rollover up for grabs and then, at the top end of the scale, ROOKIE50 can get you up to that welcome ceiling of $200.00 by way of a 50% match with a 4x rollover.

When you sign up, you will need to choose from those Promo Codes and you should also check up on full ts and cs, including the minimum odds for qualify bets. There is a fair bit of information to follow but it’s rare for Canadians to get a welcome offer and this is a seriously generous one!

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods

Click on the Deposit button at the top of the home page and you will find a full run down of funding methods and it’s a comprehensive one. Skrill, Neteller and Paysafe are the main eWallets on offer but you can also use Sofort andEcopay, along with bank transfer and all the major debit and credit cards.

Intertops are also Bitcoin friendly so they are a bookmaker who are always happy to move with the times.

Promos

There are ongoing promotions too so there is value for the life of your Intertops account. This operator has a Refer a Friend programme while every month there is a $1,000 giveaway for customers who can land the longest priced Parlay bet in that period.

In addition, you can get a reload bonus every Thursday when you deposit with any method other than credit card. Check the bookmaker’s promo page for full details but this is another really positive part of the business for Canadian customers.

Website Accessibility

The Intertops website is functional rather than attractive although some grey text on a plain white background doesn’t always make it easy to find your bet. Not everything is where you would expect it to be either with no link to any help facilities from the home page.

The logical element sees the full list of sports on the left hand side of the page with current events in the middle; overall it’s a very basic site but it’s relatively easy to navigate your way around.

Customer Service

Intertops’ dedicated customer service email is bet@intertops.eu and it’s worth publishing that here as it is very difficult to locate it from the home page. The bookmaker does have a separate help page and this shows some easy to follow FAQs and you have that email as a back up.

Help here is quick and effective but it’s not that easy to find those contact details,

Available Markets

The markets at Intertops are quite restricted although the majority of popular events are here in this schedule.

That isn’t perhaps the widest list and it may be one reason whyIntertops aren’t the most popular online bookmaker despite them being the oldest. You can also throw in some stock market bets plus options for non-sports such as politics and entertainment so there are some niches too.

Odds

Despite their long internet history, Intertops are not being picked up by the main odds comparison sites and that could be another drawback if you want to compare prices on every single bet. The good news is that those odds are very strong, particularly on the popular events so you are getting excellent value for money no matter what sport you like to bet on.

So, this is a good follow up package to the welcome offer and ongoing promos, giving you great value from start to finish.

In Play Options

Intertops have a Live Betting button at the top of their home page and this will reveal a lot of options laid out in a very logical formula which is perhaps a little more straightforward than the main, ante post page.

As with all bookmakers, football and tennis will dominate but there are other sports too including baseball, cricket and others. You’ll also find a good selection of side markets and strong prices so this is another really positive part of the set up.

Mobile Betting and App

There is both a mobile site and an app available from Intertops and if you want to take advantage of that excellent range of live betting options then it is advisable that you download one or possibly both. Their presence is better suited to betting in play but whatever your strategy may be, they are quick to load on your device and very easy to navigate around.

Depending on your timing, you may also get a bonus as a mobile customer and currently – April 2017 – there is a $20 deal for new casino account holders.

Casino, Poker and Bingo

Talking of casino, there is a very active set of games at Intertops and the link is very easy to find at the top of the home page. Again, this is one of the oldest portals on the net so it has a traditional feel with more static games and no separate site for live play.

A separate poker site is here but no bingo. Overall, there are bigger casinos out there but if you are a sportsbook customer with Intertops, it’s a good option to cross over and there are excellent offers and promotions here too.
